The Elf Who Betrayed Santa Claus: A Readmeastoryplease Book by Jack Jerome Where might Santa’s reindeer come from, and if someone else knew, could they be poached? This is a question that may not have been considered about the beloved children’s classic A Visit from St. Nicholas – until now. It’s no secret that everybody in the world loves Santa Claus. Everybody, that is, except his cousin, Reginald Claus. Reginald absolutely hates all the attention that Santa gets, so much that he schemes of a way to take the credit for himself! The fate of Christmas is in Reginald’s hands when he figures out how he can capture Santa’s reindeer. But will his “sneaky bad” plan ruin Christmas for everyone?

Before they got him, Clyde performed an act so heroic it won the admiration of man and beast, and even charmed the angels... Set in the Great Smoky Mountains, O. J. Bryson's gift-book novel Clyde, the Elf That Santa Fired is a heartwarming tale for the entire family (ages twelve through adult). At the heart of the story is Favorite, a little girl who has been terribly wronged. Her parents, both attorneys, die in a suspicious plane crash. Their law partner, Charlie Striker, is suspected, but not charged. Striker takes over the firm, moves himself into their mansion, and sticks Favorite in an orphanage in the poorest part of town, hoping she'll catch pneumonia and die. Favorite has no one to take her side. Until... Along comes Clyde! (Heaven help her!) Santa's elves have the measles, so Santa has hired Clyde to help deliver the toys. Clyde, a carefree but loveable prankster, could not care less about children. Besides, he has troubles of his own-the Capture Team from where he used to live is hot on his trail. Right off the bat one of Clyde's pranks goes awry, embarrassing Santa and leaving Favorite heartbroken. Weighed down with shame, and aching for a chance to make things right, Clyde later learns that Favorite is "sick unto death"-her enemies have done their worst. Clyde, alone, has the cure. To save the child, he will have to run the race of his life. But first he must escape. Tonight, he will make the death jump! Clyde...is a dynamite story with child-giggling explosions at every turn. The happiest of all sad endings.

I don't think anyone honestly believes that this infamous list, supposedly kept by Santa, really amounts to a hill of beans. Naughty or nice, everybody's included in Christmas. Always! That's just the way the boss operates. An elf from the North Pole, on a determined mission, breaks the Elfin Code of Silence in order to bring our twenty-first century world an update on the true meaning of Christmas and the very real spirit of Santa Claus. His outsider perspective of the world of 'biggles' offers each person who celebrates Christmas a valuable lesson on the holiday, their lives, and an inside look at who Santa Claus really is. As he explains it to the author: 'This isn't as much a book for children as it is a book for the child-like virtues inside all humans ... regardless of their age.' If the Christmas season is a special time in your life, this book is for you.

An elf living in Santa's Workshop-recently retired from productive service at the venerable age of twelve to become a full-time sculptor-lands a contract with Workshop's highest authority to create a statue honoring their long-absent founder and patron saint, Santa Claus.Unfortunately this elf, who wishes to remain anonymous, doesn't believe in Santa Claus. When X carves a controversial monument that ostensibly exalts but slyly defames both Claus and Workshop government she meets Tchotchke, a young orphan with a talent for finding whatever he looks for. Tchotchke's connections to a heretical underground organization, the Anti-Claus Movement, allow Movement members to persuade X to search throughout the arctic iceberg cavern for proof of Santa Claus's death in the hope of inspiring a popular uprising. What she uncovers with Tchotchke's assistance, however, is evidence of an even deeper conspiracy behind Claus's historical absence. With both Workshop authorities and the heretics at their heels, X and Tchotchke escape Workshop's floating confines and use Tchotchke's talent to gather evidence of Santa Claus's whereabouts at locations scattered across Europe and North America. On the way they face the dreaded Krampus in a bar, learn of Claus's origins as a young Catholic bishop, get worshipped by a tribe of elves posing as cats, and unwittingly foment an elfin revolution in an urban mall that threatens to tear apart not only an entire society, but also their friendship. Ultimately, the answers that X discovers in her search for the secret of Santa Claus only lead to even more difficult questions as her swiftly approaching demise forces her to choose between life or the one elf she can't imagine life without.
